Exploring New Air Pollution – Health Effects Links in Existing Datasets – This RFA is intended to take advantage of previous investments in health and exposure data collection, to explore new health – exposure questions by emphasizing the use of existing data from health studies to analyze health outcomes for which the link to air pollution is not well established, or to identify “new” at-risk populations. A variety of datasets may be appropriate to address the goal of the RFA including those from human population, panel or clinical studies, and animal studies. The research will provide scientists and policy decision makers with a better understanding of the health effects of exposure to air pollution, improving health risk assessments and cost-benefit analyses. A.EPA is interested in research to explain heterogeneity in health responses to air pollutants and studies that evaluate links between air pollutants and diseases or other health idicators that are not as yet well established. Total Funding: $1.4M; Award Ceiling: $300K. Eligibility: Universities, Colleges, and Non-Profits. Closing Date: April 27, 2010.
